Hyderabad: IT Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu urged students to strengthen their technical abilities to secure meaningful progress. During the prize ceremony at the T-SAT office in Jubilee Hills, he explained that rapid social shifts demanded consistent learning. Moreover, he stressed that technology had become central to every academic pathway.
Students, he noted, absorbed concepts quickly, which often made it difficult to gauge their full potential. Therefore, he encouraged them to use T-SAT tools to build stronger academic foundations. Teachers felt proud when students succeeded, and parents, meanwhile, shared that satisfaction. Furthermore, he said these competitions provided clearer evidence of genuine talent than rankings alone. According to him, the 99 winners displayed knowledge equal to that of many peers, which highlighted the depth of the T-SAT annual competitions.
The Minister emphasised that the state government continued to give top priority to education. Consequently, he urged schools and remote communities to rely on T-SAT technology for steady academic support. With regular use, he said, students could move closer to the broader goals set by the state. Digital lessons offered by T-SAT, he added, helped teachers and students across government schools.
T-SAT CEO Bodanapalli Venugopal Reddy appreciated the Minister’s consistent support. Additionally, he said T-SAT content benefited students and youth throughout Telangana. He also encouraged students to watch the network for at least one hour each day. Leaders of the Telangana Gazetted Headmasters Association, R. Raj Ganga Reddy and S. Giridhar Goud, promised to continue acting as a bridge between T-SAT programmes and students. Earlier, Executive Director M.D. Sadiq delivered the welcome address, while General Manager Linga Reddy conveyed felicitations.
